Volcán de Fuego Lahars
Studying the initiation and propagation of lahars on Fuego.
🌋 Volcán de Fuego Lahars
As part of my PhD, I study lahars, fast-moving volcanic flows that threaten communities like those around Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala. I focus on three main tasks: 1) describing the seismology of these flows to develop machine learning-based lahar detectors, 2) estimating predictors for lahar initation and flow behavior based on rainfall data, and 3) numerical lahar flow models.
